I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m lucky to have some really talented friends in the photography world.  And when I say “talented”, I’m talking 9/11 photographers…Pulitzer winners…people who are ridiculously good at this thing we call a job.  So when you have the chance to get together with 18 of those people (that you normally only get to see once a year), you don’t hesitate to pack your stuff and head to a house in the Hamptons.  Because you know you won’t just learn about flash setups and search engine optimization.  You’ll chop onions with Britney in the kitchen, while the guy that came all the way from London tells a story about selling Beanie Babies.  You’ll listen to Gulnara talk about how to choose the best images from a wedding, then watch Nadine school you on Renaissance fashion.  You’ll bond through your mutual nerdiness by seeing what kind of creative ring shot you can come up with using a glass of Genevieve’s sangria, a headlamp, and an iPhone:

And last but not least, you take part in an epic group shot (what do you expect from a group of photographers???):
